Forza Horizon 5 Is Coming to PS5

Forza Horizon 5, Xbox's acclaimed racing title, is making its way to PlayStation!

Playground Games' surprise announcement confirms the arrival of Forza Horizon 5 on PS5 this spring. This follows other Xbox exclusives like Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle in making the jump to PlayStation.

Developed by Panic Button in collaboration with Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games, the PS5 version boasts identical content to its Xbox and PC counterparts. This includes all car packs and expansions, such as Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure.

This strategic move reflects Xbox's broader initiative to expand its game reach beyond its own consoles. Xbox CEO Phil Spencer has publicly endorsed support for the Nintendo Switch 2, underscoring this commitment to wider platform availability.

Recent financial reports from Microsoft highlight a 30% decline in console sales, while Indiana Jones and the Great Circle achieved 4 million players and PC Game Pass saw a 30% growth, boosting services revenue by 2%. This financial picture may be influencing Xbox's focus on Game Pass and multi-platform releases.

Forza Horizon 5 continues the popular open-world racing series. Offering a more arcade-style experience compared to its simulation-focused sibling, Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon 5 invites players to race and explore the stunning landscapes of Mexico. A full review can be found here.
